Finally, manz, it's difficult lol, KOTOKO really can rap ... except she does it in jap ... whoa it rhymes lol. Even though I don't really understand the lyrics, the more I listened and typed the lyrics out, the more touched and passionate I became. You know why? Cos the lyrics were done by none other than the novelist of Maria-sama ga Miteru, �¡–ì���á [Konno Oyuki].

PS: Can anyone help me with this feeds problem? I've submitted my blogger atom to Animeblogger.net Antenna quite a while ago and had no problems until I upgraded to blogger beta. I dunno what the hell happened but my posts all moved to Wednesday, December 31, 1969, 4pm lol. Regardless of my old or latest posts, they all went there. Can anyone solve this for me? I'm getting pretty pissed about it.

   Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru Ep3
[Posted @ 12:16 PM]
Got lazy. As usual, click on the picture for larger dimensions. Otoboku OP, �eLove Power�f lyrics will be coming soon =) um probably tomorrow or within this week.

Mizuho woke up in a start after dreaming what happened in episode 2. [Kana and Mariya encouraging him to be Elder, Shion telling him her past of being last year�fs Elder and Takako�fs absolute objection of him being Elder.] Mizuho and the girls were having breakfast when Mizuho commented that Mariya�fs unusually early that morning lol. Mariya reminded Mizuho that because it�fs an important first day where she�fs going to nominate Mizuho as Elder. Mizuho protested but Mariya merely said why not, Mizuho just have to get 75% of the students�f votes to be Elder. Mizuho thought this to be impossible. Kana then explained that it could, as whereby a person, A should nominate B and B nominates C, the vote from A will be transferred to C. Kana, Mariya and Yukari then got hyped up in their mission to pull in votes for Mizuho to be Elder lol. Mizuho was like, �eSigh.�f LoL. Right after that, Kana, Mariya and Yukari were pulling in votes by convincing their friends and students in school. In class, Mizuho�fs feeling pretty uncomfortable as the girls around talked about the upcoming Elder election and felt that being Elder must be difficult huh. Michiko shook Mizuho out of his thoughts by giving him a nomination card and told him that she voted for him =) as well as the whole class. Mizuho felt troubled. Shion told Mizuho that it�fs great isn�ft it, having an Elder in their class is an honour. Mizuho was like, wouldn�ft that be strange, well he�fs a guy after all he hinted �c Shion replied that it�fs good, one point she�fs certain of is that Mizuho�fs definitely suitable to be Elder.


Suddenly, Kei appeared from nowhere and mumbled about Mizuho and Takako vying for the Elder position this year. [LoL Kei reminds me of Michiru from Uta~Kata and Yue from Negima!?] Anyways, Mizuho was like �eGulp, Takako-san �c�f as he was reminded of the scary glare she gave him in episode 2. The bell rang, it�fs time to switch class as Mizuho had World History later. As he entered the World History class, he saw Takako there lol and moreover, she�fs sitting beside him. As Mizuho glanced over to Takako�fs side, Takako said she had not officially introduced herself to him yet and did just that before ending the introductions very tensely lol. Mizuho was like cringing from the awkwardness and tension haha. During lesson, Mizuho kept glancing at Takako who was seriously listening to the teacher and blushing when she made a mistake. Mizuho was like �eHmm.�f, Takako then noticed Mizuho was staring at her and asked if there�fs anything. Mizuho carefully explained that he�fs admires Takako�fs seriousness. Takako sarcastically rubbed on Mizuho�fs high entrance results and said that well, their brains are different after all. Takako then asked why Mizuho had chosen World History when his results were great, Mizuho thought for a while before explaining that because it looks interesting. Mizuho asked back why Takako had chosen the subject, Takako practically said that because there�fs less competition in this subject and choosing subjects which are easy to score are more sensible. Mizuho just giggled. [YES, HE GIGGLED! �c but kawaii though �c manz, that moe face, Horie Yui�fs voice is just so �c wrong. ] Takako felt insulted and said if Mizuho�fs mocking her lol.


Mizuho just said Takako�fs more serious than she thought she was. Takako was like �eHuh?�f and then the bell rang. As the two of them were clearing their books, Takako reminded Mizuho that she would never accept Mizuho as Elder no matter how he requested his friends to help spread rumours to nominate him. At the Student Council room, Takako can�ft help but wonder about Mizuho�fs casual attitude, she�fs his rival for goodness�f sake. Takako got even more pissed when Kimie and the others were planning to also pull in votes for Takako lol. Takako yelled that what difference that would be from Mariya and others. Takako then hollered and got Kimie and the others dashing out of the student council room. During lunch, Mizuho asked Mariya not to go overboard with the rumours she�fs spreading �c Mariya was like, Kana, Yukari and her were merely stating some good points of Mizuho. Suddenly, three students out of nowhere told Mizuho that they were touched by Mizuho�fs story and told him to try his best in the Elder Election lol. Mariya was like hm hm, seems like the battle�fs going well lol and told Mizuho that girls are creatures who like rumours and it had spread across the whole school. Mizuho sighed and gave the impression of, �eI seriously don�ft understand what girls are thinking.�f LoL. After school, Mizuho thought to himself that since it had already happened, all he could do was to wait. [LoL the insert SD Kana and rabbits in rabbit cage reminded me of poor Pani Poni Dash!�fs Mesousa] The day of the Elder Election voting arrived and the students were gathered in the assembly hall for the results to be announced. Judging from the looks and words from the students around, it seemed that Mizuho�fs going to win the Elder title.


Hisako-sensei then appeared on stage to announce the winner of the Elder title who got 82% of the students�f votes and she �c or rather he was none other than, Miyanokouji Mizuho, from 3-A. The students went wild, even Mizuho couldn�ft believe he got it. The girls urged Mizuho up stage to receive the title. On stage, as Hisako-sensei was about to let Mizuho introduce himself, she noticed Takako walking towards them and asking for the microphone. Taking the microphone, Takako announced that as Student Council President, she�fs objecting to this year�fs Elder Election. Takako continued that she�fs not really concern about Mizuho being Elder but how the students had voted had tarnished the school�fs tradition. Takako told everyone to reconsider that it�fs not a popularity contest and for a newly transferred student who happened to have good looks to be Elder was a rash decision and this would be like mocking the school�fs tradition. Unexpectedly, Shion spoke up and walked up the stage. Smiling, Shion asked for the microphone from Takako [Ohhh, the cold shivers I got from that Shizuru-like smile from Shion lol]. Transforming to a convincing politician, Shion told everyone that it�fs true that an Elder should be a tradition, perfect Elder Sister in everyone�fs eyes however, that was tarnished by herself last year. Takako protested, saying she doesn�ft mean it that way. Shion continued, to be an Elder is not something unattainable because the pushing forces behind it were the students�f own decisions and aspirations. The most important reality now is that Mizuho�fs standing here on stage because of the overwhelming votes from students. Shion added that she would not allow if Mizuho�fs condemned just because she�fs a transferred student.


Everyone clapped in approval after Shion�fs passionate speech. Looking a little not too well, Shion turned to Takako, smiled, asking if she�fs alright with it and returned the microphone back. While doing so, Shion suddenly collapsed. Takako, shocked and not knowing what to do could only take a step back while Mizuho rushed forward and held Shion. Mizuho made a determined face, carried Shion bridal style and jumped down the stage straight to the infirmary. When Shion woke up, she�fs lying on bed in the infirmary with Mizuho beside her. Shion apologized for the embarrassment and explained that her health wasn�ft so good before, Mizuho�fs strength to carry her up further confirmed her suspicions of Mizuho�fs gender. Shion then urged Mizuho to return to the assembly hall as she truly felt that Mizuho should be their Elder. Mizuho agreed and kissed Shion�fs forehead before leaving. When Mizuho entered the assembly hall, he was greeted by squealing fan girls lol. Mariya was like, phew, I thought you were going to blow the secret out lol. Yukari and Kana had new found admiration for Mizuho again, especially Kana who said that Mizuho�fs like a Prince lol. It seems like everyone�fs okay with Mizuho being the new Elder as everyone crowded around Mizuho to congratulate him on being the new Elder lol. Even Takako resign to fate as it�fs the school�fs will that Mizuho�fs the new Elder. In her mind, Takako thought to herself that when Shion collapsed, her mind went blank but Mizuho �c ending it off, Takako murmured that Mizuho�fs such a mysterious person. The next day, on the way to school, the girls around were greeting Mizuho, �eElder Sister�f [Onee-sama] and Shion�fs there too, smiling and encouraging him. Thus, Mizuho�fs life as Elder begins �c - END -


Ah, that�fs fast, Mizuho�fs Elder by the end of episode 3, I was expecting something more from the Elder Election thingy �c make Mizuho cross-dress in a play �c um he�fs already cross-dressing �c hm ride a horse, play basketball, tennis, read a poem, do water ballet, whatever, just SOMETHING. It�fs disappointing to see nothing. The whole episode�fs just about Mariya, Kana and Yukari doing the pulling votes job while Mizuho just sat around and do nothing and in the end won 82% of the votes. Even if I wasn�ft Takako, I will seriously object. No, I don�ft buy Shion�fs �c excuse too. Okay, Mizuho�fs cute, moe and a red-eyed to boot, NO, I would not waver �c not �c waver �c *succumb to fetish for red-eyed characters* �c alright whatever. I wonder why Mariya�fs so determined to make Mizuho Elder, wouldn�ft that be like saying �eHEY, MIZUHO�fS A GUY, YOU MORONS!�f to the girls with the attention he would be getting in future? Is Mariya getting some benefits from this? I think I�fm going too deep. Oh, I forgot, this IS a harem, kinda anime title after all. I need angst, plot, romance, alright some comedy but I need to be assured something�fs happening underneath the table. Ok, I admit, I�fm just pissed they are making Takako the baddie here, grrr.

Art: 8/10 [�c]
Story: 6/10 [Disappointed.]
Characters: 7/10 [For Takako.]
Overall: 6/10

Next episode sounds amusing, Mizuho better do something. Having red eyes and Horie Yui as your seiyuu doesn�ft save you from my wrath. Grrr.

   [Manga] Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru Chapter 1
[Posted @ 12:26 PM]
Lunch time ... brb.

Disclaimer:

I do not scan, so I don't claim credit for it, I got the scans from Yamibo, so please do not ask me where i got my scans again. PLEASE.

Click on the scans and a new window will open and bring you to the larger and clearer version.

Please do not hotlink on forums, just paste my blog url and direct them to the Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru Page section, thanks.



Alright, I don't have the translated version but looking from the pictures and stuff, it's pretty closely related to Otoboku Anime Episode 1. So read there for the summary haha. Okay okay, I'll vaguely describe some happenings in Chapter 1 later. The art style's kinda loli lol, not much fan service yet ... ah we managed to sneak peek Mizuho's bare chest though lol. I reckon Chapter 2 has more. Oh, the manga's pretty new [Started on 21/09/2006] and on-going so recently as of now, there are only TWO chapters. Chapter 2's on Issue 12/2006 of Dengeki Daioh so if you got the moolah, buy it and scan it for us lol. Btw, the cover's page's Mizuho and Takako from Otoboku, more the reason to buy it! LoL.



Skipping right to the part where Miyanokouji Mizuho [Note: A guy] was introduced to a class full of girls ... yes, he's been enrolled in a girls' school, Seiou Girls Academy. The girls immediately went gaga over him lol, praising his beauty, height and stuff. It was then explained that Mizuho's grandfather had left a will for him to attend Seiou. So currently, he's crossdressing as a girl to not blow his cover. The cafeteriafs overflowing with chatters about Mizuho, this was heard by the Student Council President, Itsukushima Takako. Some students probably started comparing her to Mizuho which made Takako a little pissed lol.



After class, Mizuho's rushing to the dorm toilet because he couldn't find the courage to go in the girls' toilet lol. Running to the dorm, he noticed a long black-haired girl, Jyuujyou Shion standing serenely there and seemed spell bounded by her elegant. After that, Mizuho managed to dash and relieve himself in the dorm's toilet lol. Mariya chilled Mizuho for leaving the toilet seat up which might expose his secret. Mariya then introduced Mizuho to two juniors, Kamioka Yukari and Suouin Kana. Mariya then told Mizuho then Kana would be the junior responsible for serving him. [Similar to Strawberry Panic!, the lowerclassmen here serves the upperclassmen].



Mizuho's in his room changing when suddenly out popped Kana, Mariya and Yukari in their pajamas. [Needless to say, Mariya's in her skimpy pajamas lol] Mariya then pinned Mizuho down and teased him. Like in the anime, Mariya gave Kana and Yukari permission to glomp Mizuho lol. Mizuho was like, eWhat will happen to me from now on?~~ Hiyaaaaa~f LOL. - END -

I'll update more details if the translated chapter is out. Oh, being the nice person, if you want the full RAW of C1, email yours truly with your subject, 'Otoboku Manga C1', if not I'll just take them as spam/junk mails. My email address is at the bottom of the blog. I'm doing this only for Chapter 1 and till end of October, I will not entertain future requests.

I've updated the Strawberry Panic! Magazine Scans Album, Strawberry Panic! scans from issue 11/2006 of Dengeki G's. The password to the album's my nickname.

As for review of Episode 3 of Otoboku, cya tomorrow =).

   Negima!? Ep3
[Posted @ 9:42 PM]
Had a yummy home cooked Indian dinner just now XD.

A brief summary.

- Recapturing from Episode 2, Eva's in her adult form and planned to attack Negi in the school dorm again. However, the dorm was protected by a barrier set by Takamichi-sensei, the barrier was easily diminished by Eva. Eva then sent out her 'servants', Ayaka, Chizuru, Kasumi and Natsumi to 'seduce' Takamichi-sensei lol. [They were apparently under Eva's blood bond and brainwashed] Negi rushed out of the dorm and lured Eva away. Meanwhile, Asuna, Konoka and Setsuna were purchasing a video game Asuna's dying to buy. Setsuna chilled Asuna for asking her beloved Konoka Ojou-sama out for such a small matter [She's worried the same thing might happened again in Episode 2]. Asuna then noticed Negi and Eva dashing across the sky and went after them.

- At a safer place, Negi stopped and proposed to Eva that he would let her have his blood in exchange that she promised to be good. Eva sniggered at Negi's innocence and went on to force Negi to give her his blood. Suddenly, a shoe whacked Eva's head lol, it was Asuna, Asuna went on to throw her other shoe right smack on Eva's face. After that, with super inhuman strength, Asuna threw a small boat at Eva, making her off balance. Pissed, Eva called upon her spell to blast ice pricks at Asuna and Negi. Asuna tried to throw one of the ice pricks back at Eva but was stopped by Chachamaru who flipflopped Asuna against the ice blocks. Negi quickly grabbed Asuna and retreated on his staff. Camo urged them to do the pactio. After much hestitation, Asuna kissed Negi on the forehead first lol. Camo was like 'Wtf, the forehead?! Lips! Ane-san, Lips!' lol. Anyways, with Chachamaru and Eva gaining on them, Asuna managed to do the pactio properly with Negi. After a sailormoon/magical girl kinda transformation, Asuna's now in her battle suit. [Cool~] Chachamaru proceed on to lure Asuna away lol leaving Negi with Eva to fight out.

- Negi tried to convince Eva again to promise him to be good but Eva shrugged it off. Negi took off after exchanging some blows, this time, Eva managed to catch Negi by his neck, as she's about to dig her fangs in Negi's neck. Camo came to the rescue and pounced on Eva's face making her slam into the ice blocks ahead lol. Losing her adult form, Eva plunged down the clouds all the while remembering her time with the Thousand Master [Yep, Eva still dig into Nagi lol] and his words to her ... Negi managed to save Eva before she hits the ground, probably feeling no desire to fight Negi anymore, Eva left. Negi continued his time with 2-A and in a few mins, a year had passed, 2-A's been promoted to 3-A. [?! one year in 3 episodes!?] Negi's still popular with 3-A and the story really begins from here! [NANI?!] - END -


Baka Ranger special, Makie angst over her AGAIN failed attempt to finish her line, this time the Baka Rangers let her go first but before she could finish her line again, their robot arrived and smashed Makie lol. 'UGUU?!'

A really fast wrap up for the Eva arc, SHAFT made it rather serious than humourous, unlike in the manga. Where's my serious Setsunaaaaa?! LoL, the fumbling Setsuna's just as cute la, it's just weird to see Secchan so chummy with Konoka right from the start. Great to see some SD expressions in Eva, lol I really missed that. Great magic action but rather short. Asuna and Negi did the pactio, the transformation scene for Asuna was ... mahou shoujo-ish lol, kinda reminds me of Sailor Moon and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha henshin scenes. Asuna's battle gear was cool and got the huge saber right from the start~ The fight between Chachamaru and Asuna was short though ... wish to see more. I was expecting it to end humourously but it was a serious kinda setting with Eva ending it with a quote from the Thousand Master ...

Art: 7.5/10 [... Constant]
Story: 7.5/10 [Very fast but I'm ok la.]
Characters: 7/10 [Makie lol]
Overall: 7.5/10

Well, if you're interested in what I ate just now ... here's a pic of it;



My dad's Indian workers invited us over to have the Indian food they made to celebrate tomorrow's Deepavali. XD.

   Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru Ep2
[Posted @ 11:54 AM]
Because I¡¯m lazy to resize the pictures, or rather if I resize them, they will become kinda small, so I¡¯ll just leave them as they are, click on the picture for a larger dimensions.

A start of a beautiful day, Mariya¡¯s hollering for Mizuho to hurry up as he was kinda applying lipstick and brushing his hair ¡­ anyways, when Mizuho came down stairs, both Kana and Yukari were full of praises for Mizuho that he looked pretty as usual that morning. In the Academy, the girls were greeting Mizuho as he walked by, Kana and Yukari were amazed by Mizuho¡¯s popularity. By the time Mizuho got to his class, he was dead tired from smiling and greeting the girls lol. To his surprise, the girl he saw when he was dashing to the dorms in episode 1, Jyuujyou Shion is sitting beside him. The girls, um yeah then started introducing themselves to each other, Shion told Mizuho to ask her anything he was unsure of. Sitting on their respective chairs after the small talk, Mizuho opened his pencil box and was horrified to see a giraffe shaped eraser lol Mariya had placed in. Shion noticed the giraffe eraser and Mizuho¡¯s troubled expression and offered to exchange her normal eraser for the giraffe eraser. After accepting the giraffe eraser, Shion told Mizuho that the eraser¡¯s kinda a symbol of their meeting and promised to treasure it. Just then, a classmate, Takane Michiko to inform Mizuho that Kana¡¯s looking for him to give him the lunch box he had forgotten to bring. Shion made a comment that Mizuho doesn¡¯t seem like a person who is careless lol, Mizuho openly admit that he indeed was and they laughed.


Shion then noticed that Mizuho¡¯s mood had changed from yesterday and wondered ¡­ about Mizuho¡¯s gender but shrugged it off saying it can¡¯t be ¡­ haha. Mizuho just looked confusingly lol. Anyways, Hisako-sensei arrived and classes began to start. During class, Shion¡¯s started playing with the giraffe eraser lol, while Mizuho glanced over thinking that Shion¡¯s such a mysterious person. After class, Mizuho managed to visit the toilet by sprinting to a stall after turning the doorknob¡­ lol. In the stall, he remembered what Mariya told him before to not let the seat up as it might reveal his gender. After his business, he met Shion coming in, Shion told Mizuho that his zipper¡¯s open lol. Mizuho automatically apologized and checked LOL! Mizuho panicked as realized that he¡¯s wearing a skirt ¡­ not pants lol, as he shakingly turned around to face Shion, she asked Mizuho to talk outside. There, Shion asked if Mizuho¡¯s a male, Mizuho¡¯s indecisive reactions confirmed Shion¡¯s suspicions. At that moment, Mariya arrived, Mizuho immediately hid behind Mariya lol, Shion hinted to Mariya that she knew about Mizuho¡¯s secret. Gulping on how Shion¡¯s going to react, Mariya and Mizuho stared blankly at Shion, to their surprise, Shion told them not to worry as she would keep the secret for them. Shion added that it was so because she thinks that Mizuho¡¯s not a bad person and she was just becoming friends with him. Both Mariya and Mizuho breathed a sight of relief. When Shion asked if Mariya and Mizuho were acquaintances, Mariya replied that they were childhood friends. Mariya then added while running in Shion¡¯s arms that she¡¯s like Mizuho¡¯s slave as he made her do embarrassing things every night ¡­.


The two girls began teasing Mizuho, Shion started babbling that she was played around just now too by Mizuho, been threaten with ¡®If you don¡¯t want things to spread out, you better listen to me like a good girl ¡­ I¡¯ve already taken embarrassing photos of you, you have no way else to go~!¡¯ Grasping their hands together, Mariya and Shion stated that Mizuho had an innocent face but in actuality he¡¯s an evil devil inside!! Mizuho was like ¡®What the hell are the two of them doing?¡¯ LOL. The girls then apologized for teasing and said that what¡¯s life without some jokes? Mariya then asked for Shion¡¯s opinion of Mizuho, Shion smiled and said he would do it ¡­ heh, both of them giggled between themselves leaving Mizuho wondering what were they planning lol. With Shion¡¯s help, Mizuho¡¯s coping well in school and started spending most of his time with Shion. During lunch, Shion joined them, both Kana and Yukari were astonished with Shion lol. The girls around were amazed by the scene of their Mizuho-sama and Shion-sama together. It¡¯s gym class, both Mariya and Shion helped Mizuho with his gym wear. Being a red blooded male, Mizuho sneaked a peek at the changing girls around him lol and was caught by Mariya. Mariya along with Shion then proceed on to punish Mizuho by groping his fake boobs lol. Shion even asked if Mizuho could feel the sensations lol, Mizuho made a kinda ¡­ uh erotic expression before exclaiming ¡®Stop it~~~¡¯ LOL. During gym class, Mizuho forgot that he¡¯s supposed to be a female and executed amazing moves while they were playing basketball.


Instead of exposing his secret, Mizuho gained more fan girls as they squealed over his cool moves lol. After that, the students around began to spread praises of Mizuho around and rumours of him gaining the favour of Shion-sama had the girls wondering if Mizuho might become the ¡®Elder¡¯ that year. Mariya was like excited that Mizuho¡¯s attracting so much attention saying it¡¯s getting interesting. Just then, Kana and Yukari came running in asking if Mizuho¡¯s really becoming the ¡®Elder¡¯ of the academy. Kana, Mariya and Yukari then loudly stated that they were going to nominate Mizuho to becoming the ¡®Elder¡¯ of the academy, this was heard by Kimie, who was beside Takako, the Student Council President in episode 1 and she walked off to probably inform Takako. Kana, Mariya and Yukari then explained the position of the ¡®Elder¡¯ to everyone, basically ¡®Elder¡¯ means ¡®Elder Sister¡¯, in Seiou Girls Academy, every June they will nominate a different ¡®Elder¡¯ in the academy and everyone will have to respect her by addressing her as ¡®Onee-sama¡¯. Mizuho was stunned that they were going to nominate him for this title, before he could refuse the offer, Kana and Yukari rushed on in planning to pull votes to nominate Mizuho as ¡®Elder¡¯. Mizuho said that he¡¯s not suitable for it and suggested that Shion made a better choice than him. That comment earned a rather grim expression from Shion as we learnt later that Shion was the ¡®Elder¡¯ last year. However, Shion felt that she lost that qualification to be ¡®Elder¡¯ as she was a repeated student as she was hospitalized for a long period of time.


Shion felt that she let everyone down as the ¡®Elder¡¯ position was left blank, Mizuho apologized for being insensitive but Shion replied that she¡¯s happy and thankful for Mizuho¡¯s feelings. The reason was revealed why everyone¡¯s felt Mizuho looked promising was because he had gained the favour of the previous ¡®Elder¡¯ so it looked naturally that Mizuho would be the next ¡®Elder¡¯. As they descend from the rooftop, Mariya and Mizuho were confronted by a furious Student Council President, Takako. Mariya sarcastically asked what business Takako had with her, Takako then questioned Mariya¡¯s motives in nominating Mizuho for the ¡®Elder¡¯ title. Mariya was like, what, you asked me out for this smallll question? LOL. Mariya continued that there¡¯s no motives, as long as the candidate¡¯s a ninth grader, there¡¯s no other qualifications to restricting to becoming an ¡®Elder¡¯ isn¡¯t it? Takako retorted that Mizuho¡¯s a newly transferred student who knew nuts about the surroundings of the academy. Mariya questioned back Takako¡¯s motives as it was known that if there¡¯s noone to fill the ¡®Elder¡¯ position, the Student Council President becomes the ¡®Elder¡¯ by default. Seeing there¡¯s no point in arguing anymore, Takako began to take her leave but before that she stated that she will never approve a newly transferred student to be ¡®Elder¡¯. Mariya smugly replied that that decision will be left to the students isn¡¯t it? Takako then gave Mizuho killer glares before walking off, leaving a bewildered Mizuho wondering what will happen?! [Meow~ cat fight lol] - END -


Started a little boring at first but it got more amusing as Shion¡¯s character was revealed when she teamed up with Mariya to tease Mizuho lol. I assumed Shion to be an air-head Onee-sama kind but reckon I was wrong. Her gaydar uh well kinda was like soooo accurate as she spot on guessed Mizuho¡¯s gender haha, kinda reminded me of Shizuru-sama from Mai Otome where her gaydar tingled Akira¡¯s gender. Anyways, Shion¡¯s way of making the klutzy Mizuho revealed his secret was hilarious too lol, ¡®Your zipper¡¯s open ¡­¡¯ LOL. Shion¡¯s imagination sure was ¡­ hm rich as she came out with misleading script lines with Mariya lol. ¡®If you don¡¯t want things to spread out, you better listen to me like a good girl ¡­ I¡¯ve already taken embarrassing photos of you, you have no way else to go~!¡¯ LOL. I was like laughing so hard. Mizuho¡¯s reaction in the end was comical too as he wondered what the girls were musing about lol. Last but not least, the groping boobs scene was ¡­ fan service I guess lol, it was kinda ¡­funny in some way haha. Mizuho¡¯s reaction was pretty ¡­ amusing in some ways. A little rivalry between Mariya and Takako in the end was cute too~ heh.

Alright, ¡®Elder¡¯ ¡­ hm ¡®Etoile¡¯ ¡­ hm ¡®Elder¡¯ ¡­ hm ¡®Etoile¡¯ ¡­ both starts with E ¡­ haha, not that I really mind but I mean the PC/PS2 was released well before even Strawberry Panic! came out isn¡¯t it? Well not sure about that haha. Anyways, the SD were getting ugly but confusingly endearing as I re-watched the ED like 5 times lol. I never failed to throw my head back in laughter whenever the red-faced Kana tried hard to fly by flapping her ¡­ um hair? Kinda reminded me of Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh! LOL. Yeahhh! That¡¯s it!

Art: 8/10 [I like]
Story: 7/10 [Rivalry for ¡®Elder¡¯ title.]
Characters: 7.5/10 [Shion~]
Overall: 7.5/10

Made me laugh pretty hard a number of times.

   [Manga] Strawberry Panic! Chapter 12
[Posted @ 6:00 PM]
Yes, here's the full review of Strawberry Panic! Chapter 12~~ there were some errors in my brief summary earlier because I merely guessed the meanings with the little Kanjis I could read in the RAW ... hope this clears everything up.

Disclaimer:

I do not scan, so i don't claim credit for it, i got the scans from Yamibo, so please do not ask me where i got my scans again. PLEASE.

If you want to download the translated chapters of Strawberry Panic! Manga, go to Dynasty Scans .

Click on the scans and a new window will open and bring you to the larger and clearer version.

Please do not hotlink on forums, just paste my blog url and direct them to the Strawberry Panic! Page section, thanks.



In Chapter 12 of Strawberry Panic!, 'A Small Crown', Picking up from Chapter 11, Nagisa fell down the tower where the Cadette [Little Sister] were kept in captivity. The Aîn¡¡ì¦e [Elder Sister] have to rescue the Cadette by riding their horses to the tower. Luckily, Nagisa managed to hold on to the side and was barely hanging around. The spectators [Chiyo, Tamao and Tsubomi] who were looking from a distance also saw Nagisa falling.



Hikari was like hysterical, calling for help and stuff. Hikari kept apologizing to Nagisa as it's her fault that Nagisa had fallen. [In Chapter 11, Hikari was elbowed by one of those girls in the tower, Nagisa saw Hikari falling backwards, rushed forward to push her back, as a result Nagisa tripped and fell instead.] Nagisa merely replied, it's good, it's good that Nagisa fell instead. [I think Nagisa meant that it's okay, she's glad that she's the one who fell because probably she's stronger than Hikari who might just fall splat on the ground LOL] Just then, Amane came galloping on Star Bright to fetch Hikari from the tower. In Amane's arms, Hikari begged Amane to save Nagisa and said that Nagisa had fallen because she tried to save her. Amane steered Star Bright to Nagisa's side.



Barely holding with one hand, Nagisa thought to herself that if she falls down, she'll feel more relaxed [?! LoL]. If she had never met Shizuma, she would not had felt this painful ending. Amane called out to Nagisa to hold on. Suddenly Shizuma arrived, yelling to Amane that she'll handle it [LoL like hell she'll let Amane touch Nagisa]. Already at her limits, Nagisa glanced at Shizuma's approaching figure before letting go. Shizuma managed to catch Nagisa as she fell.



Shizuma kinda shed tears of relief [Not sure abt this] as she called Nagisa, 'You Baka Child. Seriously, you baka child ... my kawaii angel ...' Shizuma then turned back to Amane and taunted her that she's leaving first then lol. Caught in the moment, Amane steered Star Bright back to position, told Hikari to hold tight and galloped away. It was a close battle between Shizuma and Amane as they galloped on their horses closer and closer to the finishing line ...



In the end, Amane won, the St Spica team, Amane and Hikari were presented with a little Crown to show that that they won the first round of the Etoile Battle. Shion was like ... it was a close call ... but in the end they still won. Shion thought to herself that their competitor is Etoile-sama herself and being in the Etoile Battle for the second time so they couldn't afford to be careless. Shion was determined that St Spica will win the Etoile Battle even though she had worries of the last round.

Meanwhile, Nagisa and Shizuma were sitting under a tree. Shizuma thanked Nagisa for everything as it's because of her that she's so happy now. Nagisa shrugged it off, saying that it's no way that a person like her could do that ... Looking thoughtful for a moment, Shizuma told Nagisa that she don't care what Nagisa had heard or what people had told Nagisa about. However, the only thing Shizuma wished to tell Nagisa was that in her heart, there were beautiful, happy times as well as painful and sad times. In between there were painful memories that she wouldn't want to think about it. In Nagisa's mind, 'Painful memories ...', Nagisa remembered about Kaori, Shizuma's most important person passing away.



'Witnessing the person you like most dead, what kind of feeling is this?', Nagisa pondered. 'Desiring to see each other but that wish could never be fulfilled ... desiring to speak to each other, desiring to feel each other's body ... could never be fulfilled. Her warmth, could never be felt in this world anymore.' Nagisa suddenly felt that she's being very selfish as she was always thinking about herself and had never considered how Shizuma had felt about her painful memories.

Shizuma continued that no matter how painful the memories were, she doesn't wish for it to disappear as the memories were part of her. The memories had created the Hanazono Shizuma of now. Placing her hands on Nagisa's shoulders, Shizuma said that she don't want to compare but the only thing she wants to confess to Nagisa now is that the person she likes and whole heartedly wished to own is Nagisa. Touched, Nagisa could only whisper, 'Shizuma Onee-sama ...'.



Shizuma cupped Nagisa's cheeks and her fingers lingered around Nagisa's lips, she said 'My cute Nagisa ...' and moved closer. Before Shizuma moved even closer, Shizuma asked Nagisa for permission [Is that okay/Can I, Nagisa?]. In Nagisa's mind, she thought to herself that even though she couldn't do much, but if this is what Shizuma wished ... Even if this would only give Shizuma a little happiness, it's okay if she does this ... Hugging Shizuma in response, 'I want to do this ...', Nagisa thought. Both of them kissed.

The last scene was thoughtful, Nagisa had wanted to kiss Shizuma ... and was okay with it.

   Negima!? Ep2
[Posted @ 5:45 PM]
... tired ... sleepy ...

Negima!? OP1, '1000% SPARKING!' by Satou Rina [Seiyuu of Negi], Kanda Akemi [Seiyuu of Asuna], Nonaka Ai [Seiyuu of Konoka] and Kobayashi Yu [Seiyuu of Setsuna]. It started as a dialogue between the four seiyuus and then halfway through it, the song slots in. The numbers on the students kinda reminded me of this arcade game I used to play whereby they had the number of kills each player had on the top of the heads lol.


- Picking up from episode 1, the face off between vampire, Eva and Negi. What is her motive?! Eva had captured Nodoka, Negi yelled to Eva to release Nodoka. Eva smirked and released Nodoka since she had already done the 'deed' [Sucking her blood duh]. The problem is, Eva's levitating in mid air. Negi immediately called out his magical spell to prevent Nodoka from slamming down the ground. Semi-conscious, Nodoka managed to glanced Negi before fainting again. Gaining blood from a maiden, Eva's powers were increased as she fired a blast towards Negi. Negi managed to repel the blast with his staff back to Eva. Eva was caught unaware but luckily a dark shadow blocked the blast for her. Eva's shocked that Negi's powers were already this great even though he's only ten. Knowing she's no match for him, Eva immediately retreated with the dark shadow. Meanwhile, Haruna, Ku Fei, Setsuna and Yue heard the noises and came running in.

- Setsuna went for Konoka and was hysterical when she saw the teeth marks on Konoka's neck lol. Negi went to Nodoka's side and saw the teeth marks on Nodoka's neck disappeared. Similarly, Konoka's teeth marks also disappeared, Setsuna wondered if it's an illusion. Later, we found out that Takamichi-sensei had broken the blood bond spell of Eva to the girls. A while later, Nodoka awoke, Negi noticed Nodoka looked cute without her fringe covered her eyes. As both of them stared at each other, Haruna and Yue gave each other evil smirks. As Negi sent the girls back to the dorms, he was confronted by Asuna who finally remembered that she saw Negi using his magic. Negi tried to erase Asuna's memories but failed twice lol [Maho? Pani Poni Dash! Himeko style! LoL Pans crashing on heads! Tsukuyomi Moon Phase style!]. Later, Negi told Asuna about his mission to enter Mahora Academy as a teacher. Camo added, to find a soulmate partner too so that Negi could be a Magister Magi and invoke the greatest skills.

- However, Negi's still young so he had to make do with Pactio, a temporary contract. Meanwhile, Setsuna's looking after the sleeping Konoka, swearing to not let the incident of that night happen again. Setsuna added that, continuing the Sakurazaki tradition, she, Setsuna would protect Konoka even if she had to break her bones. Camo proposed to Asuna if she wanted to make a pactio with Negi lol. Curious, Asuna asked how to go about doing it, Negi blushed and stammered. Camo took the lead and replied, 'Kiss~ Ane-san Kiss~' lol. Asuna might pretend to be calm but in actuality she was pretty embarrassed. Asuna declared that she would never do the pactio with Negi lol. Camo then told them to get along with each other since they're living together from now on. 'What the hell?!!!', Asuna screamed into the night lol. Takamichi-sensei paid a visit to Eva's house and warned her to not make the students into her servants. Later we learn of Eva's past and hatred to Thousand Master [Nagi, Negi's father] as he had sealed Eva in a child form and banished her to studying in Mahora Academy.

- In Konoka and Asuna's room, Asuna woke up only to find Negi sleeping beside her. About to punish Negi for sneaking in her bed, Negi muttered, 'Onee-chan' and Asuna stopped her movements, realizing that Negi's a ten year old after all, away from his family and stuff. In 2-A, the girls were discussing about the vampire incident again, this time, there were three victims, Makie told them that her teeth marks were gone too. Ayaka shrugged the vampire thingy as a dream and said there's no such thing. Nodoka, Konoka and Makie couldn't make out the face of the vampire as it was dark and stuff. Just then, Negi walked in with a bump on his head, a result of Asuna's fury lol. Eva and Chachamaru didn't attend class again. After class, Negi met Satomi who was pushing a damaged Chachamaru who was in this .. tub with Eva beside her. Negi introduced himself as the form teacher of 2-A to Chachamaru and Eva [He didn't know the vampire was Eva at first]. Negi learnt that Chachamaru's a robot and a student in his class and was a little surprised. Just then, Chachamaru did a mini explosion, Satomi rushed off to fix Chachamaru. Negi placed Chachamaru's damages and Eva's slight resemblance to the vampire into one and wondered if it's true. Takamichi-sensei then confirmed Negi's guess.

- Takamichi-sensei then explained Eva's past and stuff to Negi. About Thousand Master's sealing of Eva in Mahora Academy, never to step out of the school as a punishment. Takamichi-sensei told Negi that Eva's target was him because she needs his blood to release the spell Thousand Master had on her. Takamichi-sensei then told Negi not to let Eva succeed that desire. Meanwhile, Eva's back in her adult form again. - END -


Negima!? ED 1, 'Hoshizora Letter' by Kanda Akemi [Seiyuu of Asuna] is a slow song ... makes me kinda sleepy lol but soothing nevertheless after the 'angst' and actions in the episode. A special Baka Rangers slot at the end, Makie complained that she's the only one who didn't managed to finish her line in Episode 1 and whined that she wanted to finish it. So Baka Rangers introduced themselves again ... Makie once again didn't managed to finish her line LOL.

Focusing even more on Eva in this episode as Takahata-sensei revealed Eva's past to Negi. [They really fast-forwarded alot, in the manga, Eva didn't tell Negi about her past, rather she told Asuna and Setsuna only and kicked Negi out lol.] The relationship between Eva and Nagi was pretty serious too, unlike in the manga, Nagi's a really playful guy haha. There's no hint that Eva had a crush on Nagi in the anime, unlike in the manga. Oh, I forgot to mention this in Episode 1, the relationship between Konoka and Setsuna was fast forwarded too, Setsuna was not so chummy with Konoka till the Kyoto manga chapter. However the protectiveness was still there.
